Hi,
The --post-file argument specifies all the headers that wget uses to
make its request. Whenever you use authentication over HTTP, there must
be an "Authorization: Basic (blah blah blah)" header for the
authentication mechanism to work. So if you specify your own --post-
file, you need to add this yourself. If you don't want to add it
yourself, you'll just have to go without specifying the --post-file.
At the moment, this is more of a feature request than a bug since the
idea of --post-file is to override the default headers. wget could
generate this for you, I suppose.
